Quote context

[...]

- All right. I'll tell you what. Listen to this.

- Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown, and things seem hard or tough, and people are stupid, obnoxious or daft, and you feel that you've had quite enough.

- Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving, and revolving at 900 miles an hour. It's orbiting at 19 miles a second so it's reckoned a sun that is the source of all our power.

- The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see are moving at a million miles a day in an outer spiral arm at 40000 miles an hour of the galaxy we call the Milky Way.

- Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars. It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.

- It bulges in the middle 16000 light years thick, but out by us, it's just 3000 light years wide.

- We're 30000 light years from galactic central point. We go round every 200 million years.

- And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions in this amazing and expanding universe.

- The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding, in all of the directions it can whizz.

- As fast as it can go The speed of light, you know, twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.

- So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, how amazingly unlikely is your birth.
